PNEUMATOLOGY : PNEUMATOLOGY The Work of the Holy Spirit in the Church Today
The church at Corinth
“you come short in no gift”
1 Corinthians 1:7
The carnality of the Corinthians did not prevent the gifts from operating.
Gifts are not evidence of spiritual maturity.
PNEUMATOLOGY : PNEUMATOLOGY The difference between gifts and fruit.
The fruit of the Spirit gives evidence of spiritual maturity
Reveals a person’s character and spirituality
Gifts reveal the nature of the giver, God himself
The gifts tell nothing about the person’s character or spirituality
PNEUMATOLOGY : PNEUMATOLOGY The Body of Christ
1 Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:
11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body -- whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free -- and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.
PNEUMATOLOGY : PNEUMATOLOGY The Body of Christ
1 Corinthians 12:18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

The Purpose for all the Gifts is for Edification
“How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.”
1 Corinthians 14:26
PNEUMATOLOGY : PNEUMATOLOGY Value of speaking with tongues
While speaking with tongues:
A person may declare the wonderful works of God.
A person may magnify God
Speaks not unto men, but unto God.
Speaks mysteries in the Spirit.
Edifies himself.
His spirit is praying.
Can give thanks well.
